RtR_4.1.1.6 can be found here

Bumping the thread. Currently aiming for game hosting week commencing 30/9/19.

I've got a test version of the mod discussed here running, and once tech cost scaling is put in (and I've reset the tech costs for the late era techs), I'll post the mod (RtR 4.1.1.6) for bug checks and for players to get a feel for.

As this is a test game, below are the settings, in addition to which settings are majority player discretion.

Map: Big and Small using Full of resources. Here is the map script and an example map settings file, this is the suggested settings file, however resource settings and start balance will be left to the map maker (none mirrored starts). This is the same map script that was responsible for PB42 with a few tweaks (more resources to limit the Lewwyn desert).
Map size and sea level: dependent on player number.
Snaky continents.
World wrap - player discretion, could be left to the map maker.
Difficulty Monarch.
AI Diplo
Era: Ancient


Game options: Unrestricted Leaders (well duh) - snake pick. Not random for a test game.
No Tech Trading
No Vassal States
No Tribal Villages
No Map Trading
No City Trading
No Immediate Peace
No Wonder Resource modifiers
AI Diplo [game option] - ON

This puts us to 16 already. We need a map checker, and there are other individuals who have asked for a heads up once the sign up thread is live. We could be looking at a reasonable size game here. Are there any settings people want to discuss? Any changes to sign ups, any oner else who wishes to join?


Original post below:

This thread is being posted to guage community interest in a future game, to start around the beginning of September (or maybe a few weeks later due to summer holidays).

I'm in the process of putting together a test mod to try out a few changes in the RtR mod. Looking at changes to naval movement and promotions, and civics changes centred around Emancipation, Free Speech and Universal Suffrage affecting Ren and Ind era cottage usage. This is on top of a new Ind trait interpretation and possible changes around the Chokonu or Xbow.

The full discussion that can be found here.

What I want to know, is what sort of games players would like to play? Do people want to stick with a standard ancient era FFA game, or would players be interested in a later era start, or even some form of a team game (2v2, 4v4)?

[pindicator]

I'd be interested in a game around there. 

I think I'd be more interested in the traditional FFA because I'm wary how much more time it would take to communicate between team members. But I'm not against it. 

Later era starts do sound interesting, though

[Commodore]

I'd be interested in a Classic Era FFA...

[superdeath]

Id be up for a ancient era anything, 2v2ect. Ive never done a later start but i wouldnt be against it.

[Krill]

You know it is possible to player a team as a no communication game with everybody, including teammates? Just have to ban in game signs, or mod them the not appear to anyone other than the player placing them.

I put that down as a nice to have on the feature list for the DLL. Could be a game option.

[Gavagai]

Standard game, please.

[Rusten]

Expressing interest.

But I don't see the draw in playing a teamer without communication. The fun part of playing as a team is the discussion, so my vote would be for FFA.

I second commodore's suggestion, Classical Era FFA sounds fun. Medieval+ games are too awkward...

A full diplo game would be lovely, but I guess I've arrived on these forums a decade too late for those.

ive been trying to get a full diplo game going for awhile now.. not too many people wanting to go thru the effort/ect for it tho.
